Post by: System on February 06, 2003, 11:22:41 PM

Gregory Donner's website (http://www.gregdonner.org) is known for its extensive information on 68k AmigaOS releases, as well as for Greg's OS.3.5/3.9 FAQ pages. GFX-BASE interviewed (http://www.gfxbase.com/interviews/gregdonner.shtml) Greg with regard to his history with Amiga computers, his online efforts and also his beta-testing, as he is one of the current 60+ people beta-testing AmigaOS4.

Errrr.. where does it say that absolutely everyone doing beta testing for OS4 is on 68k?

It doesn't say that anywhere, because that would be incorrect.  And luckily for portable code it's not per se necessary to do all testing in a PPC native environment. Actually that's one of the most important advantages of using higher-level programming languages.

So if you have a proper background experience but solely have a powerful 68k solution available to you, you may still be helpful to the AmigaOS4 team.
